I tried my hand at kielbasa and lentil soup today. It came out surprisingly delicious. I may have to try some other recipes I've been sitting on.

Weird, I've never had that issue with stock and I make broth at least twice a week, I also actually think I prefer poultry stock made from raw bones and meat.
My husband was craving a childhood dish of gnocchi with ground poppyseed and butter, it's okay, but not my thing. He had that and I created a new dish. Gnocchi with browned butter, marmite, fresh thyme, paprika, garlic, pepper, bolete mushroom powder, and small amount of milk (that thickened). Seriously delicious.

I've started to experiment cooking with whole birds recently. Cooked cornish game hens on Thanksgiving for me and the galpal and they turned out amazing. It inspired me to crockpot a whole chicken last sunday and it turned out amazing. Got two whole chickens in the crockpot tonight, and tomorrow morning I will turn them into taco meat for a while
The whole chickens were on sale for $.99/lb, and there was an error at the checkout where they took off an addition $1 per chicken, so I got 12.5 lb of chicken for under $10.50.
I friggen love cooking. It's so relaxing

I made broth with the chicken carcass from Sunday and used mushrooms, carrots and onion (had some that were gonna go bad soon). Turned out pretty good. I am not a huge chicken broth fan, but it tasted just like store bought. Going to save the bones from this one and do the same, but might wait a bit since I might be low on freezer room...Funky stock.Man, I hate that. It just seems to happen out of nowhere. Starting the stock with cold water instead of putting the bones in already-hot water supposedly raises the odds against it and it does seem to help, but over the years I will still sometimes get a batch of funky stock out of good bones for no identifiable reason.
I've had some luck rescuing funky broth with mushrooms, either fresh or dried. For fresh, slice up at least a pound of white mushrooms and chuck them in your stock and simmer. Or if you are using dried mushrooms, you can replace some of your stock with the mushroom soaking water, then simmer with the reconstituted sliced shrooms, which is my favorite method. You can keep the mushrooms in the stock or discard them once the stock is sorted out, whichever you prefer. Something in the mushrooms seems to rebalance the taste and odor of the stock, most of the time at least. Sometimes it just needs to go down the drain.

I needed a quick meal and I had zero clue so I just whipped up some French toast (since you’ll ask, eggs, milk, a hint of water, vanilla, coconut, and a fuckton of coffee because idk)
Because my taste buds are wack, that shit was fire, topped it with some peanut butter and jelly

Cornish game hens brined is literally cheating, it's so easy and good.

Venison stew. Harvested a nice sized deer this season, cooked it up with some potatoes, carrots, onions, and garlic. It had been cooking in the crockpot since last night. Just had my first bowl of it (served over rice) with a Leinenkugel's Original.

Here's a little life pro tip for everybody.
If you have some limburger cheese spread in the fridge that is a little bland that you want to try adding something to, to perk it up, DO NOT under any circumstances put the cheese in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it up so that it mixes better.
The cheese will soften in the microwave, enough to easily stir in any additions. HOWEVER you will need to have an exorcism performed on the kitchen and the house will need to be burned to ashes in order to send the smell back to the darkest corners of Hell where it belongs.
I added dill seed, onion and garlic powder and it tasted pretty good but I had to eat it outside due to the whole exorcism/house burning thing. (Luckily the genie from the lamp I bought on Amazon earlier this week still owed me a wish so I put the house back to normal, just without the evil smell.)

Fish can only dream of smelling so bad.
On a completely different food-subject, dried blueberries are a trap. I ordered 4 pounds of them because I was unsupervised and now? I have less than 4 pounds left and my tongue may never not be purple again. It is a good feeling.

I've been baking my brownies in cupcake tins for a while now and I'm never going back to regular pans.
A small instant pot is worth getting just for cooking dried beans alone. I put 4oz of salt pork (in a large sachet so it wouldn't fall apart under pressure and steam) in with the bay and pepper. Held off on my normal amount of salt because I figured the salt pork would get me there. It kinda did but I needed more salt later.
Does anyone know where I can get those bits of dried fruit for fruitcake that are dyed unnatural neon colors, like the green chunks, the cherries and shit. You know the ones. I need to make my own fruitcake because I fucking hate nuts in cake and bread. I'll probably use this 10 cup ribbon loaf pan I've got kickin around.

Walmart has it sometimes, and I've seen it on Amazon. Look for "candied fruit" or "fruitcake mix" since it's different stuff from just dried fruit.

Thank you! Search strings like "food colored dried fruit" and "green cherry pieces" weren't getting me very far.

I baked thick-cut Idaho potato fries that I had cut, rinsed, dried off, and slathered in olive oil. When I put them on the baking tray I was curious as to why people never put sugar instead of salt on them. So I sprinkled half of them with sugar and baked 'em.
They tasted like slightly sugary potatoes.
Eh. Unless you coat them top to bottom in sugar, it's not really worth it. Cinnamon and sugar might have been a better idea. They're better salty.

Boiled pork soup.
Sea salt, white onion, whatever seasoning you like, tiny bit of oil, small chunks of pork, various vegetables, and some other bullshit I barely remember
have some white rice on the side.
Very tasty.
I should make an actual recipe one day, for now, I will not.
Oh, and fish and pork dumplings are yummy, too.
Typically they are for some celebrations, but you can ignore that fact.

I got two of those too. I got them at the same time I got the turkey, when I decided fuck it and just bought a giant bird instead of settling for these. I like cornish game hens and it's about time to cook them, too. Chicken in general seems to be a really good deal lately. I have scored entire chickens for less than $5 lately and things like thighs are often less than a dollar a pound.

Chicken and pork. I bought three pork chops for a little under 5 bucks, but 4 short ribs are pushing $14 right now. The only beef I can find that is decent priced are shank and ox tail. Both good, but it would be nice not to pay $30 for a steak. I bought a big thing of chicken thighs but I don't really know wtf to do with them. I bought them with something in mind, but I completely forgot what it was. I may try using them for rendang since I can make a large batch.

I don't think I've ever seen limburger cheese and bland in the same sentence before.

Amish Country "Old Fashioned" Limburger cheese spread seems kind of meh to me. It may be because I've been eating a lot of white cheddar cheese and a really pepper-y pepper jack lately.
